A detailed account of our presentation and workshop at CCC 35C3 hacker conference where we proposed a new kind of software for the body based on the patterns of movement and physical interaction — and its implications for the development of AI.

The new paper Eroding the Boundaries of Cognition: Implications of Embodiment published in the latest issue of Topics in Cognitive Science provides an interesting overview of the current state of embodied cognition science (ECS).

ECS also shifted away from viewing the brain as having a modular structure where each region is responsible for a certain activity.
